Bangladesh government takes steps to protect minority Hindus: Tulsi Gabbard tweets on violence

WASHINGTON: Former US lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard has raised the issue of atrocities against Bangladesh's Hindu minority. He tweeted a video in which he expressed concern over the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh since 1971 and appealed to all world leaders to unite on the issue. He said the world should confront radical jihadists together.

Tulsi Gabbard said that in 1971, the Pakistan Army killed millions of Bengali Hindus in Bangladesh. Numerous women and young girls were raped by Pakistani Army soldiers.

Religious fanatical Islamic militants have been persecuting Hindus in Bangladesh for 50 years. Tulsi Gabbard, a former major in the US Army, said that on the night of March 25, 1971, the Pakistan Army attacked the Hindu Sarai Jagannath Hall at Dhaka University and killed 5,000 to 10,000 people in a single night.

The series lasted 10 months. 20 to 30 lakh Hindus were killed in this genocide. Thousands of women were raped and millions were forced to flee their homes overnight. Tulsi Gabbard added that the trend did not stop even after the independence of Bangladesh. Radical Muslims today target minorities.

Attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh have been going on for the past several years, Tulsi Gabbard tweeted, lamenting the recent violence. He wrote: I am deeply saddened to see so much hatred towards the devotees of God in Bangladesh. Tulsi Gabbard said in the video that shops and houses of Hindus were looted and H was written in yellow.

Is. Around 1900, 33% of Bengali Hindus lived in present day Bangladesh, which has come down to only 8% today. Just a few days ago, radical jihadists again attacked Hindu temples in Bangladesh and targeted Hindus.

Minority Christians in Iran and Syria are also being attacked by radical jihadists. At one time there were 1.5 million Christians in Iraq and 2 million Christians in Syria. Today, the Christian population in Iraq has shrunk to just three million, and in Syria to four and a half million.
